Many current aircrew flying helmets are considered unsatisfactory by their users. By circulating a questionnaire among aircrew, a new specification was produced with the emphasis placed on their opinions and wishes. Apart from comfort criteria, fast jet and helicopter aircrew require differing helmet designs. For helicopter aircrew, protection and noise reduction are of greatest importance. Fast jet aircrew require above all a helmet which will not adversely affect their lookout capability either due to bulk, balance, weight, or field of view obstruction. In their opinion, protection is not of paramount importance. Helmet mounted systems are accepted as an operational requirement but present methods are considered unsatisfactory and system integration is a necessity.
